Showered with gifts The 28th annual Irrelevant Week kicked off with the Arrival Party at the Newport Dunes. Rich.rd Dunn Daily Pilot NEWPORT BEACH -It started innocently with one man's vision of doing something nice for someone for no reason and has grown into one of Newport Beach's greatest traditions -Irrelevant Week. which celebrates the last college football player selected in the NA. draft. Irrelevant Week XXVlll kicked off Monday night at the Arrival Party at the Newport Dunes. This year's honoree, NCAA Division m Gustavus Adolphus College wide receiver Ryan Hoag. was showered with gifts and proclamations atop a lifeguard tower while surrounded by cheerleaders and blood nurses in short shirts to celebrate the Hoag Hospital theme (no, they were not Hoag Hospital nurses). Picked No. 262 in the NFL draft and absolutely dead last by the Oakland Raiders, Hoag established many records at Gustavus Adolphus as a 6-foot-2, 200-pound wide receiver with great speed (he runs a 4.33 40-yard dash). The Raiders drafted Hoag (no relation to Hoag Memorial Presbyterian Hospital in Newport Beach) after obtaining the pick by trading with the Houston Texans for a selection in next year's draft. Irrelevant Week founder Paul Salata made the announcement on ESPN and added.

P1ul Cllnton Daily Pilot NEWPORT-MESA -Assembly- man John Campbell bas teamed up with a leading tupayer group to roll back Gov. Gray Davis' tripling of the vehicle license fee. Campbell and the Howard Jarvis Thxpayers Assn. have pledged to fight the Davis administration's deci- sion, on Friday, to trigger a clause in a 1998 bill that resulted in a $4-bll- Uon tax increase. Campbell. on Thursday, released an opinion be bad obtained from the state's nonpartisan legislative coun- sel deeming the hike WegaL Qunp- bell. who represents Newport Beach. asked for the opinion In an April 4 letter. "I can't believe the governor and his subordinates d.isrn.issed legisla- tive counsel's opinion and still raised the car tax." Campbell said "By trig- gering this tax. they are only adding more uncertainty to budget negotia- tions and to Wall Streee Attorneys with Howard Jarvis have promised to challenge the move in court. In the opinion. the legislature's le- gal ann said the vehicle tax could only be raised under three condi- tions. State Controller Steve Westly must authoriz.e the move, which can only come if the state "runs out of cash: Campbell said. Also. Westly must re-evaluate the state's fiscal situation each month t6 detennine what rate to use in setting the vehicle fee. In 1998, the leglslature passed a law that changed the way the state collects fees from reglstradon of cars, trucks and other vehicles. SH INCttEASE, P ...

The Daily Pilot went to Rea Elementary School to ask students, 'What's the biggest benefit of reading?' .Knowledge, because it educates me. I can learn things out of nonfiction, and that's how it educates m e." LAURA VIUNANA. 12 Costa Mesa "The biggest benefit of reading is howyouget to learn other things that you really don't know. If someone asks you about something, you can learn by reading about it. KARLA VILLEGAS, 12 Costa Mesa "Leaming, because you can learn more stuff about animals, how to build stuff and ancient times.

Christine C•rrlllo Daily Pilot T hey read. read and read some more, and as a reward, they got exclusive visitation rights with prehistoric pets such as snakes. llza.rds. frogs and scorpions. Unlike some of their fourth-, fifth· and sixth-grade claswnates, their reward lasted a full day. They got to attend all three "Reading Frenzy" events. As a reward for the students' achievements through the Accelerated Reader program, Rea Elementary School in Costa Mesa decided to hold a progressive party to recognize them for their reading efforts. The program "is so Intrinsically motivating for the kids," said Kurt Suhr, assistant principal at Rea. "Reading is one of the greatest things you can give a kid, and (this program) gives them ownership of their reading." Those students who reached one of their three goals during the year got to attend a morning assembly. while those students who achieved two of their three goals got to stay and participate in some afternoon activities. The students who reached all of three of their goals, about 30 students altogether, got spend the whole day reveling in their reading rewards, which included a visit from some cold-blooded friends. The students appreciated the day of recognjtion. "My parents taught me to read more so I have more knowledge and will get a better career," said I I-year-old Marcos Hernandez, a fifth-grader who reached all three of his reading goals. "I think (this party) is good because every reader gets to be recognized for all their hard work." Rea implemented the program four years ago, and the effect it has had on the school and its students has impressed school officials. "We had the Accelerated Reader program for four years, and it works amazingly well," said Jenny Burks, the school's renaissance facilitator in charge or the accelerated programs. "Kids are excited to read and they're reading all the time. It's incredible to see them growing." With library circulation jumping from about 350 books per day to more than 750 books per day. school administrators have seen a strong increase in the reading skills of the nearly 800 students who attend the school. After challenging the students throughout the year, rewarding them for their efforts seemed lilce the best way to end the year. The last day of school was Friday. "Meeting all of your goals is not an easy thing to do." Suhr said. "The goals are very challenging ... so it's great to recognize (the students! for achieving them This is a great way lo end the year." • IN THE ClASSROOM is a weekly feature in wtlidi Daily Pilot education writer Christine Carrillo visits a campus In the Newport-M esa area and writes about her experience.

NEWPORT BEACH CITY COUNCIL PREVIEW PARK PATROL PROGRAM • WHO: Newport Beach City Council meeting Here are some ltema to be considered •tonight by the Newport Beach Oty Coundl. ·PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION In their study session before the regular meeting, council members wW consider a plan to monitor the use or city parks, to check pennlta and to help deal with problems caused by competition for limited space on city playing fields. The idea is to have unifonned staff members monitoring the use of the city's 38 active parks, fields and other fadllties. The $52,000-a-year cost would be paid for in part by charging $1 an hour for fields to some youth groups that now use them for free. Representatives of some of these groups have told the city that they support this plan. The remainder would be paid for by raising fees for special events permits and for renting and reserving facilities at dty parks. • WHEN: Study session will begin at 4 p.m. today: the regular council meeting will start at 7 p.m . .. • A Balboa Island homeowner whose ~request to add on to the top of her home ~ waa abot down by the Planning Commission wW get a reconsideration by : the council. The issue ts the same one lhat landed Councilman Dick Nichols in •trouble recently after he told Planning Commissioners that their denJal of the 1equest was so wrong that it looked as If ·someone had accepted money.

Right now, a single council member can call up any Planning Commission decision as a council agenda item. nullifying the commission's vote. The commission has similar powers to call up decisions of the Modifications Committee. Council members tonight will consider whether to revert to the pre-1997 policy or requiring two or more council members or planning commissioners to call up such decisions.

READER'S RESPOND Putting in their two ce.nts reg~ding Nichols At issue: Dick Nichols' comments about expanding the grass areas above th.e beach in Corona del Mar. T he truth is the truth. What Newport Beach Councilman Dick Nichols said is "blatantly true." One just has to go to Blg Corona on any given week.end to see this. Have we become so fearful of not being "politically correct" that we must avoid the truth? A public beach belongs to all voting, taxpaying citizens..

ARNOLD Costa Mesa I always enjoy Steve Smith's articles, so l did not miss his take on my Councilman Nichols's discriminatory comments about the Mexicans la.ki ng over his beach. As a longtime resident of Newport Beach, I am inflamed by this man's attitude and remarks, especially as a representative of our community. These are the kinds of comments and attitude that inspired the Hitlers and the Saddams and many others in our history. I am embarrassed for myself, my friends and neighbors to have him representing us. I applaud Smith's sensitivity. the other council memb ers and the many other citizens that are d~mandi.ng bis removal .from the council immediately an~ let him return to that hole he came from.

Thanks for your work and keep it up. continually be self-educating, to be involved, to be paying attention and investigating; Nichols' remarks reveal a mental wallowing in · preconceived thought indicative of a closed mind. Based on Sandy Nichols' letter-to-the-editor published Sa~y, June 21, Nichols could easily have made his point without ever m entioning "Mexicans" or any other specific group of people. The fact that he targeted Latinos in bis interview with Daily Pilot reporter June Casagrande clearly indicates that Nichols is, at the very least, a somewhat bigoted man. He is obviously ignorant of the ramifications of his speech as an elected representative of Newport Beach as well as not possessing any talent in bow to handle the press and press interviews. This is not a free speech issue but a common sense issue. I am not suggesting he be dishonest regarding his opinions but that he be circumspect; there are ways to phrase unpalatable opinions without being insulting as well as to framing issues for debate. Nichols is apparently incapable of expressing his ideas without ruffling feathers or sinking to the lowest denominator. His actions waste official time needed to attend to City Council business; he should resign by June 30, the end of the city's fiscal year. The umpire has spoken: You're oud JACQUELYN BEAUREGARD DtlJ.Mffl Newport Beach Dick Nichols should not resign because of any bigoted remarks he might have made.

MELODY ANO JOHN PERRY Newport Beach COMMUNITY COMMENTARY Resort's plans don .'t call for taking away recreational and environmental space I n Greenllght leader Phil Arst's Community Commentary of June 19, 2003, be continues the policy of Greenllgbt Member Tum Billings' attempts to mislead residents. First of all the Regent is not taking away recreational and environmental open space. The plans call for inaeased access to the property while at the same time improving the existing reaeational programs offered by the city's Parks and Recreation OepartmenL The Regent not only maintains the public open space and recreational aspects of this site, it improves iL And this wfD be done with private funds, not taxpayers' money. Everything Arst suggest Is to be paid for by you. tbe ree.id.ent, and the taxpayer. All of the improvements included in the Regent plan won't COit residents a dime. This ls a Win for the ~and tor the residents. Ant's da1m that he leldfied at the March u. 2003 Qty Council hearing ln opposition to the Regent Resort is false. The omdal minutes from that hearing state "Phil Arst stated that he is delighted a vote will take place on the project. H Nowhere in the official minutes, contrary to Arst's statement, does he say that he or Greenlight are opposed to the Regent ln fact nowhere in Arst testimony before the council is the word opposed even used once. My past prediction that Greenlight would at some point find some reason to .oppose the Regent has now come true. By the way, at this same City Council meeting my agreement with the city was approved by all seven countil members. Yes, even Greenligbt Councilman Dick Nichols voted in favor of the Regent. Arst's next statement in his commentary is even more unbelievable. He claims residents must vote on t,pe Regent Resort because of the Greenligbt law and not because the city's leaders and I believe residents should decide a matter of this importance. This assertion is easily disproved by simply reviewing Greenlight's own Web site or by reviewing the Greeoligbt law itselt The truth is that the Regent ls IUbject to a Greenlight vote only if it exceeds the traffic limitation laid out by Greenlight and it does noL When Arst declares. Hthere are still judges who can decide the legality of bypassing the Greenligbt law," it seems he is threatening to file a lawsuit against the city lf the residents' vote on the Regent is not to his II.king. This·again will be at a monetary cost to our residents and it is a slap in residents' faces. Arst•then reverts to Hthe old scare them with the turning of the city into another Miami Beach tactic.~ Does he mean this one and two story 110-room luxury resort is going to turn Newport into Miami? This "the sky is falling" farce is going too far. Based on current events, Arst needs to clean up his own Greenligbt house and stop trying to spend taxpayers' money. F.spedally when the Regent Newport Beach Resort provides improved recreational and open space with private money. • STEPHEN R.

But It was aJso visible in vinually all six action-packed innings, as the Dodg- ers shrugged off booted ground balls, errant throws. and other lapses that come from players ages 8-1 o. who are still learning the game.
